It’s early, but it looks as if the Cowboys’ grueling nonconference schedule is paying off.
After playing seven of their nonconference games away from Gallagher-Iba Arena and limping into Big 12 play with a 6-6 record, the Pokes have picked up some momentum with consecutive conference wins. Oklahoma State was picked to finish last in the conference, and the Cowboys are setting themselves up to prove that false for the second straight season. Again, it’s still too early. OSU is still a ways from getting its name called on selection Sunday. The Cowboys have yet to play league-leader Texas Tech or perennial power Kansas.
